> Part of the risk is the possibility that a few key employees find a much more profitable business model and leave OpenAI,

The fact that you can state this risk means that market participants already know this risk and account for it in their investment model. Usually employees are given stock options (or something similar to a vesting instrument) to align them with the company, that is, they lose[^1] significant wealth if they leave the company. In the case of OpenAI: "PPUs vest evenly over 4 years (25% per year). Unlike stock options, employees do not need to purchase PPUs […] PPUs also are restricted by a 2-year lock, meaning that if there’s a liquidation event, a new hire can’t sell their units within their first 2 years."[^0]

Well, what's the better explanation? If it was internecine warfare, the victors would be around. If it was colonial attackers, we'd have more records.

We have good documentation for it happening in the other direction, where some areas had diseases which struck Europeans so badly that they didn't want to immigrate and raise a family there.
If I remember correctly, Royal Blue is a PLA blend. Are you using that profile or just Prusament PLA? The temperatures are significantly different (25°C difference), and so are the speeds (20-30% difference).
You'd need some incredible amount of processing power to process all that data, and it also assumes the lens is even "sharp enough" to capture that resolution.

Even high-end full frame lenses + sensors with a fixed focal length struggle to reach 200MP of detail. (60MP Sony A7RV with pixel shift can take pictures with 240MP). No way this weird monstrosity can get anywhere near 200MP in a moving vehicle.
Is the problem essentially that too much of the load on the grid is AC->DC converters that are drawing power only at the peak of each cycle?

Maybe there's an alternative design for AC->DC conversion that can use the full cycle?
Perplexity costs less and lets you use more models.
The requirement for unanimous voting has not existed for more than a decade. It was removed in response to the tactical shenanigans of Visegrad countries.

In practice most decisions are still technically unanimous, because it looks better politically and it doesn't cost anything more (since a majority can simply pass whatever they want, they are not forced to concede anything to the obstructionists; with the newer rules, it's smarter for any isolated bloc to immediately trade any publicly-stated opposition for any minor favour they can get).

This is the reason why Orban, despite all his bombast, has no influence whatsoever on the actual decisions; but also why German resistance against overdue fiscal reforms has basically melted.
It might be better to accept what is right now and buy a rig but then play with the nicotine level to reduce it step by step. Once you reach 0 you won.
Yeah, on face value, Epic looks like they want to compete with Steam, but the developers of the Epic Game store are really phoning it in.

> What's the expected return on investment for "intelligence"? This is extremely hard to quantify […] if you listen to the AI-doomer folks, potentially an extremely negative return.

Indeed. And that asymmetry is what makes a market: people who can more accurately quantify the value or risk of stuff are the ones who win.

If it were easy then we'd all invest in the nearest AI startup or short the entire market and 100x our net worth essentially overnight.
Farmers by and large supported Brexit in line with the rest of the country, especially once you factor in age.

The 1956 Sinai campaign is a counter example of how opportunism has always trumped any desire for peace. If it weren't for Eisenhower, they'd had gotten away with it as well.

The current Syria campaign is another counter example. Look at how they have systematically captured all water resources East of the Golan heights. Whoever is in charge is suing for expansion, not peace.

OP most certainly is not looking for confirmation bias. OP is looking for other people's experiences, as OP asked for in the original post. OP is quite happy working alone making video games, but would prefer to be working full time with a paycheck.

It's really fun (no sarcasm) watching all of you people jump to the wrong conclusion as you judge my motivations and reasons for posting this though.

Aside from seeing a few posts and knowing he's right wing, I don't even know who Jack Posobiec is. Politics isn't my main thing. As I stated above, I am "socially apolitical". I have my opinions and my affiliations and I mostly keep it to myself unless it benefits me to do otherwise.

That's some serious leaps of logic there.
That you treat the computer as compromised.

You need to calculate something? Great, do that.

You need to encrypt files, and keep them on your device which is connected to the internet, and want to trust that you are the only person that can access them? Think twice. Can be considered trivial for many attackers to have full access to your device, and assume ring 0 access. They could realistically record all keypresses and your screen, no need to decrypt anything.

Need to hide things from state actors? Never touch a computer again and go live in a cave somewhere until they find you.
Sadly this 'populist nonsense' has even infected some prominent public intellectuals. Doubtless your comment will put them straight.

https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/crisis-behind-the-euroc...

From Chapter 6: 'The Inherently Undemocratic EU Democracy'

'A number of prominent public intellectuals put pen to paper to warn not only of a crisis of European democracy, but of a crisis of the very ‘political institution’ of democracy, and particularly its representative and liberal variants. Contemporary manifestations of the ‘hollowing out’ of democracy following the Eurocrisis have taken many forms and several contributions in this volume have dealt with various aspects of the phenomenon.'

' .... a crisis of the EU’s own democratic credentials. Even as they insisted on its purely economic character, commentators were quick to criticise the undemocratic form that the emergency EMU-related responses to the Eurocrisis came to assume, particularly at the European level, where not only parliamentary processes, but also the Treaties’ legal prescriptions, were systematically circumvented'.
This is mostly the same here in Finland (one of the cheapest non household electricity prices in Europe.)

Though I don’t see much of an issue as that is just a contract between two private parties. What is the ownership structure like in Iceland?

Also in the case of some of the most electricity consuming industries they are mostly buying from themselves (Pohjolan Voima which is a owned by a group of heavy industry companies)
You seriously believe you are going to buy Greenland with 50k per person and few billions for Denmark?

That's a laughable offer.

Believe it or not, Europeans are not on sale and they do not have that much sympathy or willingness to leave in the US. The few that do, do so for money they would not make in Europe. And money is not an issue for Greenlanders or Danes. They both do much better than people in many US states.
> People in favor of Iceland joining the EU should be honest and transparent that it's a pro inflation policy. In fact, Icelandic inflation would probably skyrocket.

It would not, simply because joining the Euro Area isn't a one time thing, but a series of steps, and they wouldn't move forward as long as the inflation is higher than in the rest of the EU.

> If Iceland adopted the EU's interest rate which is mainly set for France and Germany, that would be a 5% interest rate cut which is a massive stimulus.

Interests rate is only one of the factors involved in controlling inflation, and the fact that Italy has been able to adjust its economic policy in order to align its inflation figures to Maastricht requirements and join the Euro Area is a good proof of that.

> People should also look into Optimal Currency Area theory popularized by Paul Krugman

It has been popularized by Robert Mundell in the 60s, for which he got the Sveriges Riksank prize (the "Nobel") in 1999, not by Paul Krugman.

> For all the above reasons, Iceland joining the EU would be the stupidest and most economically illiterate decision in it's history.

The creation of the Euro is IMHO the "most economically illiterate decision in […] history" but moat of your arguments above miss the mark.
No it is not destructive, math-wise the transformation is bidirectional and can be used many times without any detail losses. The problem is sampling by the image sensor, some pixels endup with larger fiel-of-view than others, so reconstructed flat image of fractions of the fisheye would have different sharpness over the frame.
No. That’s what NATO is for- and why the US is allowed to have a military presence there already.

There was a study comparing Kaiser Permanente with the UK's National Health Service (NHS) that found Kaiser achieved better performance at roughly the same cost.

If we could use tax dollars to make Kaiser national, and scale that large without losing the efficiency and results, we'd be in darned good shape.

Eliminate other private health insurance and if people want above and beyond service they can negotiate directly with providers and pay out of pocket for that.
Maybe surprising, but based on the latest Eurobarometer, the citizens of the following countries trust the EU less than Hungarians (even if Hungary is just below EU average): Germany, Czechia, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, France (in this order ...)
While the stance of Hungary, Slovenia, Cyprus and Greece is not much relevant in relation to the future of the EU, regarding Germany and France, that's a bit more alarming...
Nevertheless, the loud HU government propaganda unfortunately has its clear effect on the Hungarian public opinion - Hungarian people trust the EU less every year, and also, everything else, including democracy in general.

Yup, none of this is particularly unknown or secretive for people who look and not interested in deliberate deception (Khomeini was delivered by Air France after all!) Yes, more specifically, Shah was an ally to Nixon and had put his eggs in that basket (to the degree that he attended Shah's funeral.) Once the tide turned and Ford lost, shit quickly hit the fan (a bit resembling how Biden treated MBS.)

The other funny and ironic thing is Shah was instrumental in mediating and shaping the deal between Sadat and Israel, but somehow he got the short end of the stick and was branded an asshole authoritarian dictator by US leftist media (see Mike Wallace 60 mins from 1976[1] for example) and Carter got the Nobel Prize.

P.S. for fun, compare to Wallace's attitude when he sat down with Khomeini only a few years later, with questions submitted and vetted in advance[2]! Oh well, how history is written and rewritten...

That first one looks like a first-person account, so I'm guessing is probably heavily biased; I couldn't watch the full video without creating an account, which I'm not prepared to do right now.

The second is clearly an account attempting to get banned. Regardless of what you post, if you're actively trying to get banned, I don't care that much when you do.

The third is probably the most concerning, although he doesn't provide any specific evidence about what he actually posted, so must be taken with a grain of salt.

In general, I'm really against services banning you without clear reason or ability to challenge. See also gmail, X, amazon, etc. etc. In terms of "free speech" vs. "censorship", I'd like a healthy mix for my social media service of choice (whether that ends up being Bluesky or something else). I don't want people to be excluded simply for expressing an opinion. I do want people excluded if they are harassing others—or worse, obviously.
I have tried Bluesky, but for now it seems rather bland. Tried to follow a bunch of people I know from X, but then it kept suggesting astronomy photos or photos of sun up landscapes (with a text like „have a happy new day“).

Little discussion on current events, little interesting insights.

It’s definitely less of a chess pool than twitter, much less random violence and less rage bait as well.

Nothing concrete in any of those links, but they all smack of bad faith (and the middle one didn’t even depict a ban).

That said, if people whose entire personality is being anti-trans perceive Bluesky as ban-happy and aren’t interested in it, I see that as a win.
3D printing via paper sheet stacks was one of the first 'rapid prototype' technologies. It was around in the automative industry at least in the mid 1980's, and was called LOM - Laminated Object Manufacturing. The machine I saw would unroll glue-backed paper onto a plate, laser-cut the layer into it along with laser cutting a consistent grid pattern everywhere outside the part. Then repeat for all the layers.

This took forever (literally days for a big part) but when it was done you would get this giant block that felt like essentially a glue-up wood countertop. You would then bust away all the cube pieces on the outside, revealing the 3D part inside. The part would have this grid line pattern on it from where the waste cube cuts intersected the final part. You could then varnish the part and you'd have a pretty much rock solid, heavy reproduction straight from a computer model.

I know that these were used for vac-forming parts straight off them, and also as patterns for sand castings. It was interesting as this tech has been pretty much erased, it's even hard to find pictures of it these days.

Anyway. I don't ever recall ever seeing one that printed color onto the paper however, but I'm sure this was something that was experimented with.

Here is a 1991 paper describing the tech, which had already been around for a few years by then I think:

For heavy industry they are buying from themselves when the electricity prices spike (Pohjolan Voima). Basically they always get it at cost of production (mankala periaate).

This is why you don’t see upm kymmene, stora enso, kemira, etc profits go down when electricity prices are high (they go up as they can sell what they don’t need for massive profits). This mainly applies during "normal" times (when olkiluoto nuclear plants go down which they own a big chunk of or something like that the situation might change)

Xft only works on X11, whereas "easy crosscompilation" suggests an interest in supporting multiple platforms, which normally includes platforms that don't use X11 (macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, even Linux with Wayland)

Deliberate problem. The inevitable corporate "oops, we fixed the auth" and common reply of "never ascribe malice to incompetence" is textbook psychological warfare. More importantly it's an effective overtone move vs collecting the data at all.

Explicit instruction isn't necessary or desired, it's trivial to write a unfunded 'compliance' requirement, practically guaranteeing a specific outcome.
There is some leeway within the EU regulation. Denmark have had some form of border control for years now. You can't do a hard border like previously, but that doesn't prevent countries from patrolling, checking checking passports or even turn away certain people.

The effectiveness of that type of border control is debatable, but it is already being done by other EU members.

It is not a good analogy because services like Facebook, Amazon, Instagram depend on a critical mass of users (sellers, content sharers, creators, etc.). With SaaS this is not a crucial component as the service is generated by software, not other users.
I actually didn't ask for feedback on my personal situation. But since you've decided to dig into my profile and offer up advice from a throwaway publicly i will defend myself publicly -

1. > No expertise in technology:

Strongly disagree. I'm an expert in python, javascript, c#, application development, object oriented programming, agile, communication, and much more. I guess this isn't shining through on my profiles.
Will have to find a way to fix it. There are many companies who value a generalist skill set.

2. > 2016 "gigs"

I had health issues starting in 2016 which derailed my career. I took what I was able to get and was still able to progress. I was promoted from eng I to eng II prior to the health issues. Later I was able to land a job as VP of engineering.

3. The lead engineer (VP of engineering) role that I had was a complicated situation - I performed my duties well and was rewarded handsomely. Working for startups doesn't always end well. From there I took time off to work for myself and you're correct, that's when the downturn started. Had I known AI would be released and jobs would dry up, i wouldn't have taken the risk of starting my own company at that point in time.

4. I havent worked for huge companies my entire career, much of it has been for start-ups but Enova, DoubleClick and Threadless are actually well known. Enova is a huge corporation and DoubleClick (one of my first jobs) was purchased by Google which is what lead to them becoming an ad company. Threadless has declined in popularity, but at the time it was extremely popular and well known. Other than that as I said, startups. Idiotic to judge a person based on whether or not the company is well known.

5. I haven't "complained" on LinkedIn. Regardless, i have deactivated my LinkedIn account, which I had planned on doing for the last month. Thanks for giving me the motivation to do so tonight. It is a silly echo chamber that has never lead to anything positive for me. I didn't even have an account until a few years ago so it will not be missed. It's clear that maintaining a LinkedIn social media account is a career hazard. That's the most useful thing your unsolicited feedback has turned up.

6. > political posts

Political posts online prevent me from working? That's absurd. My politics haven't even been stated aside from my position on H-1B and globalism. I should be allowed my political opinions without fear of reprocussion from a biased hiring manager such as yourself, but i really haven't even put any out there other than this post.

I have political opinions, and I am registered to vote, but I'm "socially apolitical" aside from a small amount of activist work I've done which hasn't been broadcast on the internet.

I don't bring politics or religion to the workplace.
